LNK305GN-TL – Power Integrations LinkSwitch-TN Energy-Efficient Offline Switcher IC

Quick Answer The LNK305GN-TL is a highly integrated offline switcher IC from Power Integrations' LinkSwitch-TN family. It combines a 700V power MOSFET with an on/off controller in a compact SMD-8C package. Designed for non-isolated buck, buck-boost, and flyback topologies, it delivers up to 175 mA (MDCM) / 280 mA (CCM) output current. It offers the lowest component count and most cost-effective solution to replace linear regulators and capacitor-fed (cap dropper) power supplies in low-power offline applications.
